LOL! The Cult of Apple is fucking hilarious! Always on the hunt for bad reviews at Amazon.
Edited on Sun Feb-04-07 06:01 PM by Rabrrrrrr
Yes, the Cult of Apple actually sends it's Disciples out to comment on low reviews of Apple products at Amazon.

:rofl:

Holy shit, this is funny! Yes, people: there are really those who go out, specifically look for bad reviews on Amazon, and add their comments, even getting into arguments. We're not talking just ONE comment per bad review, but MANY. MANY I tell you!!

Is there anything more sad than needing to go out of one's way to defend a company's products so that one can feel good about oneself? Is there self-esteem that fucking low, that it depends on making sure Apple has a good name?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/B000EPHR0C/ref=cm_rev_sort/104-0155016-9446311?customer-reviews.sort_by=%2BOverallRating&x=13&y=10&s=electronics

:rofl:

And if you go to the second page, you'll see that the one person who put "I'm an Apple fan" in the subject line, even though he gave it a bad review, HAS BEEN LEFT ALONE. :rofl: :rofl:

I picture like a pack of vultures up in the air, wasting away their days doing nothing productive, ever watchful, ever alert, ever aware, ever vigilant, eating their cheetos and drinking their Mountain Dew, making sure that anti-Apple remarks are denounced within mere seconds of their utterance, that the Holy Steve Jobs Himself not have to risk urinating his $1200 Gucci leather pants.

It's so sad, I'm laughing my ass off!

4. This is crazy
Apple must really have a legion of hatchet-men. And their supporters in those reviews are all really rude.

7. Yeah, nothing is as helpful as "Well, if you weren't stupid, you wouldn't
have that problem".

8. I wonder which comes first...
Do people buy Apple products because they're already superior, or do they become superior only *because* they already bought from Apple.

*Disclaimer*: I have an iPod, but I think it's kind of crappy and definately not worth what I paid for it.

11. It's the chicken and the egg...
:shrug:

I dig my Ipod and I think Apple is a fine company that makes good products.

But yeah, some Apple advocates are really a-holes.
